DCC opens special offices to improve waste management
Thursday, 13 November 2008
The Dhaka City Corporation (DCC) opened solid waste management offices in some targeted wards in the city to improve its waste collection system, reports BSS.
As solid waste management requires close cooperation of the citizens, they can make recommendations, comments or lodge complaints to the ward waste management offices so that the DCC can respond promptly, DCC sources said.
So far, four new ward offices have been built by the DCC with the assistance of Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) and in near future two other offices will be opened.
The initiative of building special ward offices for waste management was taken under the ongoing project 'Strengthening solid waste management in Dhaka city', which started last year and will end by 2011.
